[Role of extracorporeal lithotripsy in the treatment of gallbladder lithiasis. A multicenter prospective study].
Extra corporeal shock-wave lithotripsy changed dramatically the treatment of renal calculi. This procedure is now used to treat biliary lithiasis. In gallstones, the impact will depend on its efficiency, risk, and easiness. The ACAPEM studied prospectively the results achieved with this method. They are currently available for 219 patients.
